Yesterday’s Last Thursday was packed, and what a night it was! ❤️🎨 The gallery was full of familiar faces, artists, friends, collectors, and so many happy buyers celebrating art and community with us.

There’s something truly special about Last Thursday—the way people come together, discover new art, support local creatives, and simply enjoy being part of this community.

And at Blind Insect Gallery, we were thrilled to celebrate the opening of Pacific Northwest Perspectives by Kaline Carter. 🎨
